Taormina

Sicily's beautiful island resort town. This picturesque town can't be forgotten.

Taormina

Taormina offers one of the best high land views over the Mediterranean Sea . Located on the island of Sicily, the town of Taormina is best enjoyed during the hot summer months and well into the Autumn. A visit to the amphitheatre is a must and a cigar and a cocktail in the piano jazz bar overlooking the marina is surely to be enjoyed by the adults. Stroll around the town, seafood lunch and a beer require a day! The Etna volcano is a couple of hours drive away too for the more adventurous. After all Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe!

Taormina

During my semester abroad, I spent a weekend in Sicily for my art history class. We hiked Mt. Etna- an active volcano, toured Catania, and spent a day wandering around Taormina. This city quickly became one of my favorite Italian cities, and is worth the flight or train ride if you can get to it! Taormina is a hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily that is known for the ancient Greco-Roman theater that is still used today. Also, there are a lot of quaint shops, specializing in pottery and unique jewelry. The restaurants all serve authentic Sicilian cuisine, setting it apart from mainland Italy. While visiting Sicily, be sure to try a traditional Sicilian cannoli… the one (or five) that I ate during my visit were life-changing.

Taormina

Underestimated, but entirely more romantic and peaceful than any place I've ever been too, the island boasts beautiful blue beaches (watch out for jellyfish) as well as mountain hikes and old ruins for the history nerd in all of us. Great place to vacation with family.
